Best Printer for Stickers 2023 – Our top printers for labels and stickers (September)

This inkjet printer supports paper sticker printing and is our favorite overall sticker printer. The Hp Envy 7955E boasts wireless connectivity and scans, copies and prints. Thanks to a super user-friendly design with a clear LCD screen, it’s a great printer for those new to printing stickers or just want a decent all-rounder for a home office. Stickers are super customizable via the HP Smart App and can produce any type of sticker in sizes from 4 x 6 inches up to 8 x 10 inches, so there’s plenty of versatility. As a wireless printer, it can print true-to-phone photos straight from your mobile device. High-quality stickers are easily produced – making this a great choice for small business owners, especially as fast printing speeds mean it is easy to print many at a time. This also comes in handy if you’re looking to print in batches.

Furthermore, HP are offering 6 months free ink subscription when you sign up to HP+, which also gives you a warranty extension and other functions. Alternatively, sign up to HP Instant Ink, which gives you subscription access to ink delivered so you never run out. This is certainly a plus as stickers can use a lot of ink very quickly, especially if you’re planning on printing a lot of them. Be warned, ink for this printer can get pricy – with prices ranging from $30 – more than $50 depending on what cartridge you go for.

Laser printers for stickers aren’t really an automatic choice. They lack the vibrancy available with inkjet options, although they are useful for more ‘official’ uses when printing stickers and labels. Let’s say they’re more office and organization focused than art and craft. The Brother HL-L3270CDW makes a good case for laser printers in this category though, offering flexible printing and admirable color depth in a printer that is both wireless pretty speedy, and not too pricey for a laser model.

However, the key consideration for this printer should be whether it ticks all or enough of the boxes for your needs. For less ‘fun’ or creative use the Brother HL-L3270CDW can provide high-output speed and quality printing, but if you’re a home user with limited space (and that space isn’t a home office) it may not be for you. Cardstock and envelopes are among the types of media this printer can print to, although the settings aren’t the most straightforward available and may need some unraveling.

On the plus side, once it’s set up to print via WiFi it’s 250 tray capacity and solid speed mean that productivity isn’t an issue. If ‘productivity’ isn’t a word you’d associate with your sticker printing, this may not be the one for you – and do take note that the TN-243 toners this printer needs are priced at around $50-60 each.

When it comes to recommending a beginner-level printer for artists and home crafters, one model that consistently stands out is the Brother MFC-J497DW. While its price may be budget-friendly, it boasts an impressive level of print quality.

The MFC-J497DW is a multi-function printer that excels in every aspect, including print quality, materials, construction, and versatility. It combines a high-resolution printer, scanner, and copier into one compact device, making it an excellent choice for both home and studio use. Furthermore, considering that a decent scanner alone can often cost more than this Brother printer, we think it offers really fantastic value.

Although it’s a little slow, the ink quality is high and offers great saturated colors. The printer’s high resolution adds a vibrant touch to your vinyl stickers, while its reliable rollers and mechanical parts guarantee precise handling of sticker paper. The printer will not jam or wear out, even with heavier printing volumes.

With its user-friendly LCD interface panel, wireless connectivity, compatibility with cloud services, and USB support, the MFC-J497DW offers convenience and flexibility. Its all-in-one design and overall superb quality make it an automatic recommendation for anyone seeking an inexpensive printer for various tasks. It particularly excels as a budget-friendly option for printing stickers on vinyl.

Finally, we have the Canon PIXMA PRO-200. This supports media sizes up to 13 x 19 inches, making it suitable for printing larger stickers or multiple smaller stickers on a single sheet. This flexibility is beneficial when working with different sticker sizes or layouts. It’s very durable and produces high-quality prints with long lasting colors. Plus, it’s super compact, making it perfect for home use or small offices.

The PRO-200 offers a maximum print resolution of 4800 x 2400 dpi, allowing for sharp and detailed sticker prints. This level of resolution is crucial for maintaining clarity in small text, fine lines, and intricate designs.

However, it’s pretty expensive, so not fantastic for those on a budget.
